Founding of the company: in 2000
Activitys of the company HeiPro:
- To 90%, we deal with vegetable oil - Technology
- 10% with other system solutions for diesel engines such as
Preheating fuel to avoid refrigeration problems with diesel
and biofuels

Vegetable oils as fuel


In principle applies:
All vegetable oils characterized by the following properties are suitable as fuel
These properties (with fixed limits see table) should hold the vegetable oil to use as fuel
to be found.

Objectives of upgrading to an alternative fuel:

Residue-free clean burning operation in all phases of the engine


Nearly the same power consumption, and as in the diesel power

An important point to attain this result is:


That the fuel used as a vegetable the aforementioned properties, and their
maximum values (see tables) are!

Viscosity and flashpoint

How can these differences between diesel and vegetable oil


aligned?
Viscosity
The viscosity of the fuel is very
important, because you significantly for
the safe and reliable operation of the
injection is!
It influences the fuel supply, the system
of injection (pump pressure), and the
spray to the injection (clean combustion).

How can we make the viscosity of


vegetable oil aligned?
Through a selective heating of
the oil before it's in the injection
arrives!

Flash point
The flashpoint of the fuel is very important
because it is crucial for a clean combustion of
the air / oil - mixture!
If the flash point is not reached, then there is an
incomplete combustion and deposits in the
engine and entry into Pl of engine oil!

How are we the difference of 172 C?


On the one targeted by the preheating of
the plant oil and the other by the injection
of vegetable oil, until you reach the
operating temperature of the injection and
Combustion rooms!

To the above differences between vegetable oil and diesel


offset, only the two-tank system with preheating of the plant oil
into question because:

Only when two tank system is a gentle cold starting the engine on diesel fuel is
possible!

Through targeted preheating, the viscosity and the flash point of the diesel and plant
oil will be aligned!

Switching between vegetable oil and diesel is only when the injection,the
combustion-rooms and the required temperature (to compensate for the viscosity
and the flash-point) have achieved!

Only a change between the fuels, depending on the load condition of the engine (eg
TDI in the city's dealings with diesel and vegetable oil outside the city) is possible!

(Pump-nozzle and common rail systems only with special adjustment!)
trucks, buses, agricultural tractors, combine harvesters,
stationary engines, etc. ...
With Bosch injection pump or
Bosch license and PLD / PD / Common Rail - Systems

Diesel using is further possible

Operating unit in the cockpit


Cold start with a diesel engine, and upon
reaching the operating temperature is in the
vegetable mode is automatically switched to
vegetable oil. Operating conditions are indicated
by LEDs! If the engine for more than 1 hour off
for about 5 minutes before stopping, you have to
switch to diesel mode
